Tylenol vs. Motrin for teething?

Question

My son has his two bottom teeth about 1/4 of the way out so we have been giving him Motrin almost every night since he’s been a miserable teething monster 😂 
My question is, which do you prefer? Tell me why you prefer the one over the other. Just curious as to what everyone is doing for teething.

Answer

We tried Tylenol first, but my boy was cutting multiple teeth at once so it wasn't helping much overnight when the pain is worst. We ended up doing Motrin at night because of the anti-inflammatory properties that Tylenol doesn't have.
During the day we would do Tylenol and all of the other methods of trying to soothe/distract from the pain, like washcloths, frozen fruit, teethers etc

Answer

We’ve tried both but now we only use Motrin. My husband is convinced that ibuprofen is a superior drug to acetaminophen for whatever reason. Maybe it’s because of the anti inflammatory properties like the other comment says. Also because we easily found a dye-free Motrin which I prefer. I haven’t seen a dye-free Tylenol. It probably exists, I just haven’t seen it.

Answer

My doctor's office said they dont recommend anything but Tylenol at this age.

Answer

Motrin helps with inflammation and that’s what is causing the pain in teething. Dental hygienist over here
